More than 20 images from 2005 and 2006 have been released from the Cassini Imaging Team. These include maps, movies, mosaics, anaglyphs, and unique color images.

Updated maps of each of Saturn's major satellites are included in this release. These maps include data that has been obtained over the last year since the last map update at the end of last year. Some of the maps include updated control points, so for some of these maps, this update is more than just slapping new images in. The latest Titan map, with data as recent as September, is included in this release.

My favorite Cassini mosaic (along with my second and fourth; a large, Ta-Tb Titan mosaic from the Science paper and the Rev11 Enceladus mosaic tie for third) is in this batch. A large, full-disk Enceladus mosaic from Rev04 (March 9, 2005) shows the anti-Saturnian hemisphere. A number of very intriguing features can be seen in this mosaic, including several deep canyons, a set of ridges near the limb at left (Ebony Dorsum and Cufa Dorsa), and various sized craters at different stages of degradation. A close-up of the center of the mosaic shows the interaction between tectonism and impact cratering in greater detail. A large, clear-filter mosaic from Rev03 (February 17, 2005) of Enceladus’ trailing hemisphere showing Sarandib Planitia and surrounding terrain in great detail. To finish-up the large mosaics, a mosaic of Titan’s Fensal-Aztlan region from T9 (December 26, 2005) has also been released.

And if that weren’t enough, a number of anaglyphs, movies, and great color images are included in this release. These include an anaglyph of Pandora, a color image of Saturn behind Titan, Helene, two views of Enceladus’ plume from Rev 20 (January 18, 2006) and Rev22 (March 22, 2006), a crescent Saturn in color, and a rotating false-color Hyperion.

But wait, there’s more! There are also more artwork and movies than you can shake a stick.

EDIT: Links fixed with photojournal links. CICLOPS site inaccessible.

Looks like the CICLOPS site is back up and running, so you can check out these new images as well as the artwork and movies (though the website is still pretty slow, so you may want to wait to download any of the movies, like the Paul McCartney birthday card).

Including the images and the artwork, the CICLOPS site allows for comments to be posted about released images and artwork:

Is there any particularly good reason why the Helene image is all hazy, like in the not-so-good old days after Jupiter?

That is odd - thought it was my monitor for a split second!

The raw images look OK in comparison:

The CICLOPS site has some new features, including what looks like a new public outreach effort called "Sector 6". Check it out: http://ciclops.org/sector6.php
